Schooner Wyoming
http://www.schoonerwyoming.com/index.htm
A Story of the Schooner Wyoming's last journey. On Wednesday December 15 ,1909 the largest wooden sailing vessel ever built, the six masted schooner Wyoming was Launched. Many newspapers of that time period had conflicting lists of the crew members. In this web site I will present the information I uncovered and how I arrived at what I think is the most accurate account of who was on the Wyoming when it went down. There is one problem with this list that I will explain later. This web site will include d...

Schooner Wyoming - Soren's Sea Story
http://www.schoonerwyoming.com/sorens-s-s.htm
And his time aboard the Wyoming. This is one of my father’s many sea stories. It is a story of two decisions, decisions that people make everyday of their lives, except these two decisions had life and death consequences. These decisions were made by two men whose lives came together for a brief period of time in February of 1924, on the six masted schooner Wyoming. The voyage of the Wyoming was to be from Boston to Norfolk, there to one or more ports in the dominion of Canada, and then back to a final p...

Schooner Wyoming - Books & Sources
http://www.schoonerwyoming.com/sources.htm
The National Archives in Washington, D.C., as well as many newspapers from 1924, provided most of the information on the Wyoming crew members and events that happened after the loss of this great ship. However, I found there are many great books about the Wyoming and what life was like during the era of the coastal schooners. The following books are a few of the ones that were helpful in my search. I also have listed the location where most of the books and documents can be found. By Bruce D. Berman.
